I've been becoming increasingly frustrated by my complete inability to find a needle when I want one these days.
Something had to be done.
So I made this!
I learnt the Scrappy Quilt-As-You-Go technique from this tutorial and then improvised the pattern for a needle book.
Such a good way to use up all those small scraps of fabric that you don't want to throw away and so liberating to not have to worry about what fabrics go with what! I think I may start using this technique a lot more!
I'm off to make some more...
Great idea, I have so many fabric scraps left over when cutting my clothing. I never know whatvto do with them. In should give them away,

ReplyDeleteYour needlecase looks lovely, especially the owl on the front (so cute).
ReplyDeleteYour needlecases look great and made out of such tiny scraps, so effectively, the cost is nil.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous idea! I love the owl fabric and that button.
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking using your scraps.... especially love the use of your label :)
ReplyDeleteSend me you address and I will send you a bundle. I know how hard it is to get fabric in NZ
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! I need to make one of those too. At the moment my needles are stored on a piece of felt floating around my crafty nook. Not great.
ReplyDeleteLovely patchwork - such a great idea for using up scraps
